Connecticut National Guardsmen stand inside the state Capitol Sunday, Jan. 17, in preparation for a protest ahead of the inauguration of President Joe Biden. It was one of several protests planned at state capitols across the country. An expected crowd of about 2,000 people never materialized.
The Connecticut State Police spent about $125,000 in overtime to make sure the state Capitol was protected on Jan. 17, when law enforcement gathered for a protest that never happened.
State Police spokesman Brian Foley said that they assigned a tracking code, for payroll purposes, to each trooper throughout all ranks assigned to Capitol security duty.
